Apart from being a major seaport on the east coast of India, Visakhapatnam is primarily an industrial city. It is also home to the Eastern Naval Command.
The city sometimes goes by its now mostly defunct colonial British name, Waltair. During the colonial era, the city's hub was the Waltair Railway Station, and the surrounding part of the city is still called Waltair.
